Will Ospreay Returns To Newcastle On June 17

NJPW star will be in action at the Built To Destroy anniversary show

Will Ospreay will return to Newcastle for the first time since October 2017 when he steps into the ring at Built To Destroy on Sunday, June 17th. He will also be part of the in-ring photo opportunity for Row 1 ticket holders at the event.

Ospreay, who is the current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion in New Japan Pro Wrestling, had been scheduled to compete for the Defiant World Championship in December, but was unable to take his place in the match. It remains to be seen who his opponent will be on June 17, with his last appearance having been against Joe Hendry at Refuse To Lose last October.

Already scheduled for Built To Destroy is two huge title matches, with Rampage (if still Champion) taking on Martin Kirby for his newly won Defiant World Championship, while Jimmy Havoc will face Kay Lee Ray for the Hardcore Championship - a match set up by new general manager Primate.

Tickets for the show, which will also be broadcasting live online via FITE.tv and Access Defiant, are available now here.
